Owner’s Manual

I. IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

When using an electrical product, basic precautions should always be followed. Read all

instructions before using this treadmill.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded! If treadmill should malfunction or break down, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. This plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

DANGER!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock or injury to persons, take the following

precautions.

 DO NOT leave the treadmill unattended at any time when plugged in. Unplug the treadmill

from the power source when it is not in use.

 DO NOT use the treadmill if the unit is wet or the plug or cable is damaged or the treadmill is

not working properly. DO NOT use damaged or defective equipment. Keep equipment

out of use until unit is repaired by trained technician.

 Keep the power cable and plug away from heated surfaces.

 NEVER place the power cord under carpeting or have any object on top of the power cord.

 ONLY use the power cord provided with this treadmill.

 To disconnect, turn the switch to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.

This exercise equipment is designed and built for optimum safety for the home use. However,

certain precautions always apply whenever you operate any exercise equipment. Be sure to

read the entire manual before assembly and operation of this machine. Also, please note the

following safety precautions.

WARNING!

Connect this unit to a

properly grounded

outlet only.

CAUTION!

STOP your workout

immediately if you

feel any pain or

abnormal symptoms

and consult your

Owner’s Manual

7

MECHANICAL SAFETY

 Before you start exercise, make sure the unit functions correctly. To maintain the safety level

of the exercise equipment, DO NOT use a faulty device.

 Replace defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.

 Inspect the equipment prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and bolts are fully tightened

before each use.

 DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

 NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.

 ONLY one person may use the treadmill at a time.

 NEVER activate the speed when someone else is standing on the treadmill.

APPROPRIATE ATTIRE

 Always wear appropriate clothing. DO NOT wear clothing that might catch on any

part of the treadmill.

 Always wear non-slippery shoes during workout with the treadmill. DO NOT wear

shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your shoes and remove any dirt and

embedded stones.

CHILDREN AND PETS

 Most exercise equipment is not recommended for use by young children.

Children should not use the equipment unless they are under constant adult supervision.

To ensure safety, keep young children off the treadmill at all times.

■ Exercise equipments have many moving parts. In the interest of safety, keep others

(especially children and pets) at a safe distance while you exercise.

Owner’s Manual

II. SETTING UP YOUR TREADMILL:

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the treadmill should be placed in a

comfortable and convenient setting. This treadmill is designed to use a minimal amount

of floor space and to fit nicely in your home.

z DO NOT place the treadmill outdoors.

z DO NOT place the treadmill near water or in high moisture content environment.

z Make sure power cord is not in the path of heavy traffic.

z If your room is carpeted, check the clearance to make sure there is enough space

between the carpet fiber and the treadmill deck. If you are uncertain, it is best to

place a mat beneath your treadmill.

z Locate the treadmill at least 4 feet from walls or furniture.

z Allow a safety area of 5 feet X 3 feet behind the treadmill so that you can easily get

on and off the treadmill without being trapped during an emergency.

Occasionally after extended use you will find a fine black dust below your treadmill. This is

normal wear and DOES NOT mean there is anything wrong with your treadmill. This dust can

be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner. If you wish to prevent this dust from getting on your

floor or carpet, place a mat beneath your treadmill.

LEVELING THE BASE

It is important that you place the treadmill on a firm level surface.

Check the treadmill to ensure the frame is level once you have moved the treadmill into

the position of your choice.

USE DEDICATED CIRCUIT

The outlet selected should be a dedicated circuit. It is particularly important that NO

sensitive electrical equipments, such as computer or TV, share the same circuit.

CAUTION!

Make sure the

running deck is level

to the ground.

If the deck is

positioned on uneven

surface, it would

cause premature

damage to the

electronic system.

III. HANDLING YOUR TREADMILL:

FOLDING THE TREADMILL

Folding and unfolding of this treadmill is made easy with the assistance of gas shock. After the

treadmill has come to a complete stop, it is important to make sure the elevation is lowered all

the way to the lowest level before folding the treadmill. The display console will indicate “0%

elevation” in the lower left window when positioned at the lowest level. With caution, fold up the

deck slowly with both hands. Fold the deck vertically upright until you hear a click, then the

folded deck is locked in place. Please note that if you failed to lower the elevation to the lowest

level (0% elevation) then the folding safety lock will not click nor lock in place. Be certain the fold

lock clicks and locks in place,

UNFOLDING THE TREADMILL

Pull out the lock pin on the upright post (L) with your left hand. At the same time, press the

deck slowly with right hand. Use both hands to bring the deck slowly to the ground. As the

deck gets closer to the ground, it will drop at a faster rate and feel heavier. Please handle with

caution.

MOVING THE TREADMILL

This treadmill is easy to move around safely.

To move the treadmill:

1. Turn power switch off.

2. Unplug the power cord.

3. Make sure the deck is at 0% grade elevation.

4. Fold the treadmill and make sure lock is engaged. You should hear a click to indicate

positive engagement.

5. Simply roll the treadmill on four wheels to the desired location.

STORING THE TREADMILL

For safety precaution, especially when you have children in the house, we recommend that you

follow these steps to keep the treadmill out of potential harm.

1. Turn off the power switch when you have finished workout.

2. Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

3. Remove the safety tether key and store out of reach of children.

10

Owner’s Manual

IV. OPERATING THE TREADMILL:

TURN POWER ON

The ON/OFF switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply cord at the back of the

motor cover. Flip this switch to the “ON” position.

SAFETY TETHER KEY AND CLIP

The safety key is designed to cut the main power to the treadmill should you fall. Therefore, the

safety key is designed to bring the treadmill to a abrupt stop. At high speeds, it may be

uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous to come to a complete stop immediately. So, use the

safety key as emergency stop only. To bring the treadmill to a complete stop safely and

comfortably, use the red stop button.

Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is properly inserted into the key holder at the

side of the console. The other end of the safety key should be securely clipped to your clothing

so that in case you fall, you will pull the safety key from the console, which will stop the treadmill

immediately to minimize injury. For your safety, never use the treadmill without securing the

safety key clipped to your clothing. Pull on the safety key clip to make sure it will not come off

your clothing.

GETTING ON AND OFF THE TREADMILL

Handle with care when getting on or off the treadmill. Try to use the handlebars while getting

on or off safely. While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the running belt.

Straddle the running belt by placing your feet on both side rails of the treadmill deck. Place

your foot on the belt only after the belt has begun to move at a consistent slow speed.

During exercise, keep your body and head facing forward at all times. Never attempt to turn

around on the treadmill when the running belt is still moving. When you have finished

exercising, stop the treadmill by pressing the red stop button. Wait until the treadmill comes to

a complete stop before attempting to get off the treadmill

.

If you feel uneasy with the speed and are not sure how to stop, hold the handlebars, lift your feet

off the running belt and place on both sides of the side landing. The side landing is a

non-moving platform and would be a good place to rest before resuming the workout. Always

remember to start at a low speed for your safety and comfort.

WARNING!

NEVER use this

treadmill without first

securing the safety

tether clip to your

clothing.

CAUTION!

For your safety, step

onto the belt when the

speed is no more

than 1.5 MPH or 2.4

Km/H.

NEVER start the

treadmill at a running

speed and attempt to

get on while it is

moving fast.

NOTE!

The deck should NOT

be folded unless the

elevation is at 0%

grade. Attempts to

fold the deck while it

is elevated may

cause damage to the

frame.

SPEED ADJUSTMENTS

A single press of FAST and SLOW buttons will adjust speed by increments of 0.1 MPH (or Km/H)

during workout…or you may press and hold these buttons to quickly scroll up or down.

ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS

For safety reasons, the elevation level is designed to be manually adjusted for most applications.

The treadmill will only automatically adjust elevation during one of the following three programs:

P2 = elevation program, H-SE = HRC by speed and elevation, and H-E = HRC by elevation. You

will find more details in the “Preset Programs” section beginning on page 15.

Elevation may be manually adjusted even while the running belt is not moving, however, during

the program setup mode, elevation will not be adjustable.

PULSE FUNCTION

This treadmill features wireless heart rate monitoring, the most advanced technology to date for

accurate read out of your heart rate. For convenience, this treadmill is also designed to pick

up heart rate info via the contact sensors located on the horizontal handlebar. Treadmill will

look for wireless pulse signal first. If no wireless pulse signal is present, then treadmill will look

for the signal from contact sensors.

To use the wireless pulse monitoring system, you must wear the heart rate transmitter chest

strap. Place the contact surface next to your skin directly under your heart to pick up the pulse

signals from your heart. The heart rate transmitter strap is an optional purchase and not

included with this treadmill.

To use the contact heart rate, place your hands gently but firmly around the contact sensors on

the handlebars. Movements in the hands may cause difficulty for the treadmill to pick up the

signal properly. When signal is picked up, the LED light next to the pulse display window will

light up and flash to the rate of your heart beat.

Please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity

which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Also, note that mobile phone, television

and other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field around them, which may also

cause problems in heart rate measurement.

PAUSE FUNCTION

When STOP button is pressed during workout, the program is suspended. After the running

belt has come to a complete stop, display will count down from 03:00. During pause mode,

Owner’s Manual

13

only START and STOP buttons will function.

If START is pressed within three minutes during the pause mode, the treadmill will bring the

running belt movement back to the speed at which the treadmill was paused. Workout values

will resume counting and continue where it left off.

If STOP is pressed during the pause mode, the program will end. After three minutes if no

button is pressed, treadmill will automatically end the workout program.

END OF WORKOUT STATS

When you have completed your workout or if you have ended your workout, the display windows

will report your workout stats for one minute. After the running belt has come to a complete

stop, the displays will show total time, total distance, total calories and average speed. Then

the display will go to idle mode, ready for the next workout setup. If you wish to skip the

workout stats report, simply press the STOP button, which will skip display to the idle mode.

UNIT CONVERSION

To change units from metric to English or English to metric, you must be in the idle mode.

Follow the steps below to make the unit conversion.

1. Simultaneously press both the STOP and SLOW together.

2. The message center will display “unit”.

3. Simply press START to confirm.

Notice that the LED lights next to both the speed and distance display windows on the upper

right corner will have changed the measurement unit accordingly.

VIEW / PROGRAM

During workout – this button will change PULSE to CALORIES or CALORIES to PULSE.

SCAN / HOLD

This button will allow user to view both calories and pulse display values intermittently (SCAN).

The user may select to steadily view only calories or only pulse (HOLD).

COOL DOWN

Whenever you are ready to stop your workout, even if you are in the middle of a program, be

sure to use the COOL DOWN program. When the cool down button is pressed, it will

automatically interrupt the current workout and go directly into cool down routine, which is

programmed for four minutes. The first two minutes will reduce speed and elevation by 50% of
